Beware of the Dropsy | Covetousness and the Call to Holiness

About this sermon

“For everyone who exalts himself shall be humbled, and he who humbles himself shall be exalted.” (Luke 14:11) In this powerful homily, we reflect on today’s liturgy where Jesus teaches the Pharisees through humility, the healing of the man with dropsy, and the parable of choosing the lowest seat at the banquet. Father explains how pride blinds hearts, how covetousness leads to spiritual ruin, and why humility is the key to entering the Kingdom of Heaven. Drawing from St. Paul’s letter to the Ephesians, we are reminded of the unfathomable riches of Christ, the eternal blessings we have received through baptism, and the importance of sanctifying grace. This message calls us to reject worldly idols—sports, entertainment, power, wealth—and to embrace holiness, humility, and the love of God. 🌹 Our Lady of Fatima reminds us: “In the end, my Immaculate Heart will triumph.” This homily challenges us to prepare for the coming purification, to make a good confession, and to live as true brides of Christ, filled with His love and grace. 🙏 If this message touched your heart, don’t forget to like, share, and subscribe for more powerful Catholic sermons, reflections, and teachings. 📌 Key Highlights The healing of the man with dropsy and its spiritual meaning The pride of the Pharisees and Jesus’ call to humility St. Paul’s teaching on the riches of Christ in Ephesians How worldly idols distract us from God The coming purification of the world The triumph of the Immaculate Heart of Mary The call to confession, repentance, and holiness 📖 Scripture References Luke 14:1-14 – Healing of the man with dropsy & choosing the lowest place Ephesians 1 & 3 – The unfathomable riches of Christ and God’s eternal plan For more please visit https://www.themarianfranciscans.org/ Please sign up at this link https://lifecrusade.org/ #CatholicHomily #CatholicFaith #GospelReflection #Humility #SundayHomily #CatholicSermon #CatholicChurch #TraditionalCatholic #CatholicTeaching #Ephesians #Luke14 #RichesOfChrist #Confession #OurLadyOfFatima #ImmaculateHeart 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 Support Catholic Businesses here - https://sensusfidelium.com/catholic-businesses/ Sensus Fidelium Press - https://sensusfideliumpress.com/ Sensus Fidelium Apps - https://sensusfidelium.tv/ Support Sensus Fidelium - https://sensusfidelium.com/donate-support/ 🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴🔴 🙏🏻PLEASE HELP OUR CHANNEL GROW 🙏🏻 ▶️ 1.
